Minke's black technology

Chapter 333 Successful Surgery
It has to be said that where there is demand, there is a market, and where there is a market, there is a driving force for research and development.

In the corners that ordinary people can’t see, there are always many companies and R&D institutions wandering on the edge of the law. They have already done a lot of human experiments secretly. No matter whether these experiments are legal or not, no one can use them to sue them anyway. .

It is such unscrupulous practices that have enabled these medical consortiums to achieve more technological breakthroughs than Meow Star Labs in the application of carbon nanotechnology. Use flesh and blood to make up for the gap in strength.

But after researching and researching, they found that they can only jump within the range designated by others, and cannot jump out of the limitations of carbon nanomachine technology. Only when the Meow Star Laboratory achieves breakthrough innovation technology, can they take off again. motivation.

So after Li Maoye nodded and let Meow Xing Lab to conduct human experiments, the Western Medicine Consortium immediately sorted out a lot of data on human transplantation experiments related to carbon nanoartificial organs. Through these data, Meow Xing Lab immediately grasped the breakthrough bottleneck help.

"Many of these experimental subjects seem to be homeless?" Li Maoye looked at the experimental data received. Although these data had already been input into the CVI system for correction, he did not check them one by one, but randomly checked some data. data from which these test subjects were discovered.

"No wonder these guys are so enthusiastic about inviting us to do experiments." Li Maoye murmured. For the clinical experiments of artificial organs and the practice of transplant surgery, the Western Medical Association has always been persistent in their invitations. Now it seems that for them, The cost of these human experiments is very low, and the legal risk is almost zero.

However, now that the Meow Star Laboratory has joined forces with others, Li Maoye has no position to accuse others of being evil. Besides, these homeless people of course know what they are going to do, and they have signed contracts and agreements, and they have obtained a lot of experimental subsidies. If the experiment fails, there will be a large sum of money to compensate.

"There are advantages and disadvantages, or the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!" Li Maoye gathered his thoughts and concentrated on the current human experiment. It was the first time he watched experts conduct human experiments in his own research institute.

Ugh, the previous ones don't count!After all, if he dares to conduct experiments on people, the success rate must be 100%. Meow Star Lab never conducts unsure experiments.

The person who voluntarily participated in the electronic eyeball implant surgery was a bald eagle veteran. It is said that he had participated in overseas wars. Unfortunately, one eyeball was injured by bullet fragments. After returning home, he found that his wife had cheated on him and ran away with someone. The divorce not only took away most of the property, but also required him to pay for the support of his cuckold ex-wife.

After successive blows, the veteran not only lost his real estate, but also spent all his savings and retirement benefits. Then he went bankrupt and went to the streets, becoming a member of the bald eagle wandering army.

This time I was able to participate in the human experiment in the Meow Star Laboratory. It was my former comrades who saw him as pitiful, and then I happened to have an experiment quota on hand to apply for, so I helped him fill out the application, and was finally selected by the Meow Star Laboratory to become the experimental subject. one.

Of course, the homeless veteran agreed to this experiment. If he failed, there would be no loss for him. If he succeeded, he would be able to see the light in his lost left eye again, and there is also a subsidy for the experiment. Of course, the money is from the medical association to pay.

In the operating room, the test subject was sitting on the operating chair, and his eyeball-lost face was covered with a transparent mask, which was filled with transparent carbon nano-liquid, and the mask contained only the oxygen inserted into his nostrils. Outside the tube, there are countless tiny needle-like metal tentacles, which stretch freely like the streamers of jellyfish.

These metal tentacles are precise operation robots specially used for surgery. They seem to be very small in size, but they are very powerful. They can easily tear the skin and muscles of the human body, and the precision of their movements can reach the nanometer level.

The expert in charge of this operation sat in front of the holographic computer monitor. He could clearly see the 3D perspective view of the entire head of the subject, and he could switch to various display effects at will, and command the robot to operate through gestures or spoken instructions, which was magnified many times. On the screen, the clear projection shows that the metal tentacles are shaking slightly.

Every shake is the work of the surgical robot. Although the surgical process is not fast enough, the precision and efficiency are much higher than that of human doctors. Therefore, in terms of the length of operation time, the surgical robot actually takes less time.

Other visitors also surrounded the holographic computer screen to watch the operation process. Most of them were experts from various places, some from military research institutes, and some western experts with blonde hair and blue eyes. With the help of translation headphones, they faced the operation Details are discussed.

Li Maoye saw that the surgical robot was connecting carbon nanomachines and nerve cells, and would soon enter the test activity, so he asked casually, "Should we also implant miniature electronic muscles?"

"Yes, it will be implanted next." The staff member replied.

"What is this used for?" Someone next to him asked casually. Judging by his attire, it was obvious that this person was not an expert, and he might be the boss of a company in a pharmaceutical consortium.

Li Maoye explained in a rare way: "It is implanted with this useless electronic muscle in order to move the eyeball naturally and make the artificial eye look more realistic."

Indeed, the camera of the electronic eyeball does not need to rotate like the human eyeball to change the viewing angle, but for better natural senses and to make it more in line with human habits, it is necessary to install electronic muscles to control the eyeball rotation.

In fact, doing so will impose restrictions on the electronic eyeballs. For those who pursue extraordinary abilities, adding electronic muscles is a bit superfluous.

The operation took about half an hour, and after implanting the tiny electronic muscles, the surgical robot sucked an artificial eye out of a tube from a tank of fluid.

It was a hard eyeball with a white polymer material shell, and there were countless metal filaments connected to the back of the eyeball. Then the surgical robot directly inserted it into the prepared eye socket, and started the automatic connection program inside the eyeball.

Where no one can see outside, the metal filaments supported by the carbon nanomachines seem to come alive, extending to the depths of the eye sockets, and entangled with the previously installed carbon nano nerve cells to determine the location of the nerve interface After the position, the two quickly merged into one.

All this process is projected on the holographic computer display screen, and everyone can watch the process in all directions. There is also a progress bar below showing that the connection of carbon nano-metal filaments is 100% complete.

It took about 3 minutes to connect for the first time. It is said that after the artificial eyeball fails, you can take it off and replace it with a new one. The connection process will only take more than ten seconds.

Of course, this is the solution when the artificial eyeball is completely broken. Usually, when encountering a malfunction, it can be repaired by dripping carbon nanomachine eye fluid, and then controlling these carbon nanomachines.

After the transplant operation was completed, another bionic robot came to untie the mask of the experimenter, and the experts also activated the function of the electronic eyeball.

"I see! I see! I can see you!"

The experimenter looked very excited. This electronic eyeball was a civilian version, just like his other normal eyeball. Apart from providing normal vision, it only had some ordinary auxiliary functions.

For example, night vision ability and VR function, but the night vision ability does not need to be controlled, as long as the light level is reduced to a certain level, it will be turned on automatically.

As for militarized functions such as infrared vision, automatic tracking, and shooting aiming, this electronic eyeball is missing. It must be developed according to the requirements of the military, and the manufacturing cost of the artificial eyeball will be much higher than that of the civilian version. few.

After a series of rigorous tests, the experts recognized the success of the operation, and it was much more successful than expected. The artificial eyeball exceeded ideals in all aspects.

The bald eagle homeless man picked up an eyeball for nothing, and he didn't even need to pay for regular maintenance in the future. The Western Medical Association reimbursed him all, but he needed to cooperate with the experience to collect data.

All the people watching on the sidelines were satisfied with this. Whether it was the people from the relevant departments on the rabbit side or the experts sent by the Western Medicine Federation, they said that from the experimental results, this artificial eyeball transplant operation is quite mature.

"The cost of artificial eyeball transplantation is not very high. It is enough for potential users to buy this service just to restore sight to blind people and gain night vision ability. You must know that it is human nature to pursue light!" Said this It was the CEO of a pharmaceutical consortium company.

The Western medical experts beside him nodded in agreement, and someone added: "Many soldiers in our country have lost their vision due to accidental injuries. Now they can apply for medical insurance from the national government, and then they can do this." Surgery."

"The proportion of people who are born blind in the world's population is not small, and they also have a demand for this surgery."

"Well, people who are born blind may be more complicated. Some people's optic nerves have atrophied, and they may need to be checked first to confirm, or simply order a new operation to restore the optic nerve cells..."

All in all, this market will definitely not be small, even a rabbit can't eat it by itself, at best, it will be good to ensure that the domestic market will not be the same as the foreign market.

According to the relevant cooperation agreement, it is still necessary to allocate a large part of the market to the pharmaceutical consortia, and through them to quickly promote it to the world.

Of course, the price of the operation will not be cheap in the initial stage. Even if the cost of the whole operation is not high, the medical consortium will do everything possible to collect every penny of the patient, and it may take seven or eight years for the price to drop.
